Any parents at Thomas’s College this year can please give some feedback?
I am interested to know the type of kid, how academic it is, how is pastoral care, how much homework there is. I know it has just been a term but any first feedback is welcome. Thank you!

This is interesting. I am hearing more and more complaints about Ibstock, the lack of leadership, the pastoral care is not great, SEN pretty poor… let’s see how the offer holder day goes next week!

I thought that too - but I looked back over threads and it really feels like multiple posts from the same two posters. They clearly fell out with the school and are unhappy. I’m not saying they don’t have grounds but seeing as everyone else I’ve read on here and in real life has overwhelmingly positive things to say, I’m keeping some perspective on those comments.

We went to Thomas offer holder today and really really like it. It feels calmer and a bit more refreshing. The kids were also much more enthusiastic than the ones we spoke at ibstock. Honestly they seem both amazing school and it is just down to what would be best for the individual kid.
